Chapter 357 Madam, that woman has been inside for half an hour.
Liang Yizhi thought her suggestion was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Okay, three months it is."
“You probably don’t want to sleep in the same bed with me during this time, so let’s sleep in separate rooms. I’m used to sleeping in the master bedroom. In the past, if you came home late, you would sleep in the study to avoid waking me up. Let’s continue like this.”
A strange sense of melancholy welled up in Liang Yizhi's heart, but he still nodded.
Ji Ying said no more, turned around and was about to leave, as if she were going out.
"where did you go?"
The words slipped out of his mouth, and even Liang Yizhi himself was taken aback.
He shouldn't have interfered.
Ji Ying turned around, her face expressionless, and calmly replied, "Go take care of the business."
Liang Yizhi opened his mouth.
He is still on sick leave and has little concept of work right now.
"Then...then come back soon."
Ji Ying didn't respond to him and continued to leave.
Jiang Ran's car was waiting at the door.
Ji Ying got into the back seat and lay down.
She gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, took two deep breaths, and finally relaxed.
Jiang Ran drove the car smoothly out of Dingbu Street and slowed down the car.
After crossing two intersections, she still couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ying, I don't understand. You are the rightful Mrs. Liang. Why didn't you just throw this shameless woman out? Why did you agree to let her stay in the house?"
Ji Ying's gaze fell on the texture of the seat in front of her, and her voice was somewhat soft due to her slightly reclining posture.
"How can we find out what she did to Liang Yizhi if we don't keep her under our watchful eyes?"
"What about three months from now? If Mr. Liang is still like this then, will you... really get a divorce?"
Ji Ying thought for a moment and said calmly, "If I can't bring down the Pang family within three months, and he doesn't regain his memory and still chooses to fulfill his promise to Pang Yin, then my decision to leave the father and keep the son is also a way to save my own life."
So what I said to Liang Yizhi before was a tactful remark.
It wasn't that she left his world, but that she decided to abandon him.
Ji Ying slowly closed her eyes.
“Over the years, he has been good to me and protected me. Now that he has lost his memory and has been framed by the Pang family, I can’t just abandon him. Having done this much, no matter the outcome, I have a clear conscience.”
A long silence fell over the car.
In the end, Jiang Ran simply sighed very softly and gripped the steering wheel even more tightly.
The two arrived at the Innovation and Research Center, just as their colleagues were about to leave work.
Ji Ying didn't disturb anyone and went straight to the office.
Duan Cheng arrived around 6:00.
He came from the Shen family mansion, carrying a thermal lunchbox.
"This was cooked by Madam Shen herself. She asked me to tell you to remember to go to the central area of Suji Precision Hospital for a check-up in two days."
Ji Ying didn't look at the insulated lunchbox he had placed on the table. Instead, she lay on her side on the sofa, with a soft cushion behind her back and a thin blanket covering her body, quietly looking at Duan Cheng.
So you know?
Duan Cheng nodded. "Madam, you can trust me. The master said before that if he is not here, we must take good care of you."
Ji Ying felt a lump in her throat, but she managed to control her fluctuating emotions.
"So he knew all along that there might be trouble on this trip to international waters, and made arrangements in advance?"
"No, last time at the hospital, someone tried to assassinate him on his way to the pharmacy. Although they failed, he became wary after that. But he didn't tell anyone so as not to worry you. I suppose the group that intercepted me and Jiang Ran at the highway service area on the way back from rescuing you probably also wanted to take you away and get rid of you at the same time."
Ji Ying instinctively covered her chest.
It felt stuffy and painful there, and I also felt a slight tightness in my lower abdomen.
She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and once again suppressed her surging emotions.
Jiang Ran, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward.
"Sister Ying, you need to eat something first."
She opened the insulated lunchbox, and a delicious aroma wafted out.
Madam Shen personally stewed the astragalus, red date, and black chicken soup, and thoughtfully added blanched green vegetables and soft, glutinous yam.
“Now Madam Shen is starting to care about you,” Jiang Ran said.
Ji Ying stared at the clear, bright-colored black chicken soup without saying a word.
At this moment, Duan Cheng stepped forward and lowered his voice, saying, "Previously, Mr. Liang misled the Pang family into believing that Bai Ning was Mr. Shen's biological daughter. Pang Daiyao still firmly believes this. However, after Mr. Shen's accident, there has been no news of Bai Ning. The only certainty is that she is still alive."
"Why do you say that?" Ji Ying asked.
"Because Pang Daiyao is still threatening Mr. Shen with Bai Ning's life and death from time to time, forcing him to find the USB drive, and Mr. Shen has been cooperating with his performance. Mr. Liang's move is very prudent, and at least for now, there is no need to worry about your identity being exposed. Otherwise, if this were added to this mess, it would really be a huge headache."
Ji Ying understood that Duan Cheng was implying that it was best not to make an enemy of Pang Daiyao.
This must have been something Liang Yizhi instructed him to do.
But Pang Daiyao had extended his claws to her side, and she had no way out.
What Liang Yizhi didn't finish, she had to do.
Ji Ying calmly looked at the warm steam rising from the coffee table and said to Jiang Ran, "Please serve me a bowl of soup first."
To avoid being discovered, Duan Cheng left after a short while.
After dinner, Ji Ying rested for a while.
When I woke up, the clock on the wall already pointed to 8 o'clock.
At this moment, Liang Yizhi and Pang Yin must be having a cozy dinner with Pang Daiyao, as an engaged couple.
She had other things to do, so she suppressed the slight ripples in her eyes and ran into Xiao Chang as soon as she stepped out of the office.
Ji Ying was surprised that Xiao Chang would be working overtime until this late.
Xiao Chang smiled and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Ji Ying nodded, feeling somewhat apologetic, and said, "Thank you for troubling the company again."
Why are you being so polite with me?
As he spoke, Xiao Chang's nose twitched.
"Hmm... why does it smell like astragalus and red dates? This soup is warming and nourishing, especially good for pregnant women."
Ji Ying looked away and didn't respond to him.
Xiao Chang understood immediately, and a tacit silence filled the air.
Then he took out a key and handed it to her.
“No matter how many years a couple has been together, they still need private space. The office is a place where people come and go, not a place to completely relax. This apartment is in Guanlan No. 1, the environment is quiet and the security is good, you can stay here for now.”
In fact, Ji Ying was also considering whether or not to buy herself a house.
Now that Pang Yin has moved into the house, she no longer trusts the private space within the home, and the Shen family is not her home in her heart.
Xiao Chang's key was exactly what she needed.
But Ji Ying didn't answer.
"That apartment in Kun City, Xiao Xia said it belongs to her friend and she doesn't charge rent, but it's actually yours, isn't it?"
Xiao Chang did not deny it, and nodded with a smile.
"Yes. But later, Liang Yizhi bought it from me."
Ji Ying felt a lump in her throat, but she forced herself to suppress her emotions.
"I can't trouble you any further. How is Xiao Xia doing? I... can't visit her right now."
Xiao Chang understood her concerns; she was afraid of implicating Xiao Xia again.
Seeing that she didn't intend to accept the key, he took it back.
"Xu Zhaoheng is a pretty good person. In the few days you were away from the company, Xiao Xia has already completed her first surgery, and the results are still being observed."
Ji Ying looked at him, her eyes deep and intense. "Xiao Chang, thank you."
...
When Ji Ying returned to the courtyard house after finishing her business, it was already past ten o'clock.
As soon as she entered the inner courtyard, she saw Butler Fei with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the study door with his ear pressed tightly against it.
Upon seeing Ji Ying, he quickly tiptoed over, his tone more like that of a kind-hearted neighbor.
"Madam, that woman has been inside for half an hour, but there hasn't been any 'big' movement yet."
